  "summary": "Portuguese football legend Antonio Simões has criticized Cristiano Ronaldo for his focus on scoring 1,000 goals, according to a report by Daily Post Nigeria. Simões was quoted by A Bola, stating that Ronaldo appears to be solely concerned with his personal record and that he will continue playing for the national team until he is 49 once he reaches the milestone. Ronaldo is currently 21 goals away from achieving this feat, which he anticipates accomplishing sometime next year. Simões' comments come after Ronaldo's recent departure from Portugal's UEFA Nations League training camp.",
